>Back at the house I found 7.9 inches of new snow on the snowboard, and the
snow had stacked up fairly vertically as opposed to creating a trapezoidal
shape the way many snowfalls do.

I'm glad you noted and showed this, Jay. Vertically stacked snowflakes is
evidence of beautiful dendrite snow growth with lots of "arms" to grab hold
of other flakes. That is quintessential low-density snow in those pictures
and I figured the only way BTV could record 3" in an hour at the airport was
that the North Country was seeing a very favorable overlap of lift within
the snow growth zone (-12C to -16C layer).

I love those types of snowfalls... where the dendrites are developed enough
to stack up like potato chips with a lot of air trapped within.

Looks like a great snowfall...here in Albany I had 7.2" as of 8pm but last
night we picked up another 3" of this high density snowfall and it continues
to stack up. Nothing like perpetual snow-globe snow.

Enjoy it everyone!

ps: I'll give a run down of Sunday-Monday's storm later after 12z guidance.
I think the central and northern Greens are going to get lit-up between the
synoptic and upslope. Upslope parameters are looking very favorable come
Monday afternoon.
